Established on 1 April 1982, the Lands
Department is responsible for all land matters in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region. It comprises three functional offices. The Lands
Administration Office takes charge of land disposal and acquisition,
valuation of land and properties for various purposes, lease enforcement,
land and squatter control, urban renewal and maintenance of man-made
slopes on unallocated and unleased government land. The Survey and Mapping
Office is the official land survey and mapping agency for Hong Kong. It
sets up and maintains the geodetic survey control network, carries out
land boundary surveys and aerial surveys, and produces maps in both paper
and digital forms. The Legal Advisory and Conveyancing Office provides
in-house legal advisory service, administers the Lands Department Consent
Scheme by giving consent to sale of units in uncompleted developments and
approves Deeds of Mutual Covenant.
